Got this pattern too and it does look a little scary. Not sure if I have time to make it as we leave in 19 days! I am thinking of casing JHam...look!
Yay! I finally made something for our rapidly approaching trip!It's a little big but hopefully it will fit next year too. I did the pumpkin "by hand" before Heather had hers digitized but she did come out with the cute Boo! design before I stitched up the bodice and it was perfect!
I have Mickey pumpkins cut out to put on black tee shirts for the rest of us. Jayden will probably get a skirt out of the black with orange scroll-type fabric. I need to get busy!

That is ABSOLUTELY adorable! I Love it! Are your tier 2 and 3 the same width strips or is tier 3 longer? I made my first patchwork this weekend and it was! I copied the Hobby Lobby bandana idea and it could be that my colors didn't coordinate the best in the world but I KNOW that my patches didn't line up vertically. Should they have?
So cute!![]()

I did it this way because I wanted my patches to line up vertically. I enjoyed controlling which blocks would be touching each other!So each tier was 8 blocks. All blocks were cut 5 1/2" tall, (I used 1/4" ish seam allowance) the ruffle was just folded over. First tier blocks were cut 7" wide, second tier were 13" wide (I don't remember now why I didn't do 14" but it all worked out in the end
), 3rd tier were 26 1/2" and ruffle were 53" (2 26 1/2 stitched together.) That way each blocked lined up with one block. I used 4 prints so each vertical section had one of each and each tier had 2 of each. clear as mud?
Thank you so much, this sewing is still all new to me and you have explained that sooo well, I might even have a go at making one
Here is a Chip and Dale dress I made for our dinner at the Garden Grill, I love this pattern ( my 3rd dress now) and I am getting faster and better each time...thanks guys

So, is it bad that I didn't notice until page 38 that we were on a new thread! I glanced at page 17 and thought it was odd but didn't think much else about it until others mentioned the thread. So I have 37 pages to read up on!
Jeanne, love Lily's halloween outfit! Your pumpkin is perfect! I am so jealous of your trip! Can't wait to see the whole family all pumpkin'd out.
Looking at the dresses, I thought it would be easy, but I took the pattern out and the instructions and promptly put them away......I would love to see one that someone has made.
Great Halloween dress...we're also going to MNSSHP, but just finished making the families dalmation costumes...

I got this pattern, but it's more a future use. I think the patterns can be intimidating because of all the peices. Break it down into sections. If the outfit has pants, make those. If it has a top, then make that next. Just don't cut out everything at once and have a big pile of patterns. It will just look too intimidating. Then just read each little section at a time.You'll be okay. If you don't know what something means. Ask us. (I often do an internet search to see what something means and find some great sewing sites).

I did the faries pattern for DD for haloween this year. it looks like a lot of pieces, but it really wasn't that bad the petals for the skirt took a long time, but it really wasn't that hard, just time consuming.
WOW!!! Beautiful!!!! Can't wait to see the whole thing!Here is a skirt I have been working on for Nikki's 10th bday at WDW. We are going to CRT for Breakfast. I still need to make the shirt but I wanted to show you all the skirt.
The embroidery designs are Heather's I LOVE them! Nikki actually sat watching the machine stitch out all 17 of them! She loved seeing them be created. They stitched out perfect! Heather you ROCK!!!!!
There are 3 castles all in different colors, 3 coaches in different color combos, 2 wands, 6 hearts with different sayings and 3 crowns all different. I think that is it...

I love the Halloween dress and the Chip and Dale. These are great! I've been MIA since my trip in July because a) it's a let down to me coming back home with nothing new planned and b) I've discovered facebook.
That being as it may, I've booked a girls only trip for DD and I from 12/3 - 12/8 and I am looking for ideas for holiday outfits to make her. School is starting back next week so I should have plenty of time to sew. I will post a few pictures in a few days of some of the outfits I made for our July trip if anyone wants to see them!
Thank you so much for you help. I am such a novice I don't understand half of the sewing terms. I will certainly be asking...thanks again
Thanks for your help, I think I will start it this week....if I ever get DD to stick to one Fairy!!! Could you please post a photo of your finished dress??
Thanks guys
